Map-making in Progress

[dreamsoftwilight]

Yuss! I've done it! I created a map... and it only took what, 5 hours to figure it out? hehe.

It's no where near done, I just thought some of you would like to take a peek at it, and see what it looks like so far... It has a lot of barge sites. lol And a few Islands I put in for looks.

It's located on the coast in Lower Egypt where Alexandria will one day be built... but right now its just prime realestate or something. lol

I did this all by mouse, as I couldnt get the satellite data to work...

So, if anyone would like to use this because they dont want to bother with the river, go ahead. :)

Almost forgot, Im using my meadow tile mod in the game, so if you want to see the map the way I drew it, then you can download the meadows.zip which I conveniently added. Its not necessary to use it though...

most excellent!

P.S. "only took 5 hours..." so, what's your point? :D

Well I got the cliffs made! The islands prettied up, and the coastline dirited up with weeds and stuff. and put a few critters down.

In the southeastrn bunch of mountains I put a mountain meadow, complete with a lake in the crater... though I had to just make a "cosmetic lake" I used flood plain tiles and set the colour to the sea green shade, and then painted the lake in, put down weeds and some rushes... and viola! insta-(fake)lake! hehe

Put down some villagers on the larger island, and some critters there too. Why can you put down reed boats if they just sink when the game starts?

I renamed the city to Tanis, decided not to call it Alexandria...
